The news of the preparation for the filming of "Breaking the Sky" is now known to passers-by, and He Fang also lifted the lid on the TV drama industry, which caused the passivity of the General Bureau, Director Cai called to criticize He Fang, and blamed He Fang for not greeting him in advance.

"Cai Ju, it's not that I didn't greet you in advance, but if I said hello, will you let me lift the lid? I'm afraid that what you want is an internal solution, and then you don't know what the nature of Sofurui Company is, I'm afraid that someone will greet you from above, so that you can make this matter a big thing a small thing, a small matter, right?

In the end, the obstacles that affect the development of the TV drama industry will definitely not be removed, and it is impossible to remove them. So, I'll cut it first and then play it, you can't scold me, but this matter can be promoted. In order to promote reform, what is it that I am scolded? ”

He Fang's words left Cai Ju speechless, "You, you, okay, you're amazing, okay." have learned to help me clear obstacles, you are not forcing the TV drama industry to be cornered, you are forcing me to be cornered. ”

Cai Ju criticized He Fang fiercely.

"Hehe, Cai Ju, only when you are desperate can you break the axe and sink the boat, and only then can you concentrate on reform." He Fang was not only not afraid, but also smiled.

"You, you, you, will also run into me, and if you are replaced by someone else, you will be hated, and you can be corrected in the future. Say, since you have lifted the lid, there must be a solution, I will listen to your solution, if you can't let me solve this matter completely, see how I clean you up. ”

He Fang listened to Cai Ju's words, and also smiled bitterly, he believed Cai Ju's words, and it was good for him to be replaced by others who didn't let He Fang take off his skin.

Moreover, he has caused such a big trouble to Cai Ju, if he does not give a solution, it is estimated that Cai Ju will have the mind to chop his head.

"Cai Ju, I think there are two things that are not good. First, it is not good to control the ratings data in the hands of for-profit companies, and the statistical power of this ratings must be in the hands of the General Administration. I think the General Administration could set up a department similar to the Office of Electricity and Resources, which is the department that publishes real-time national box office data and also monitors the authenticity of box office data.

So why can't ratings allow the Directorate General to set up a ratings office? Real-time release of the ratings of each TV station every day, playing a unified role in releasing and supervising the authenticity of the data? ”

As soon as He Fang's first suggestion came out, Cai Ju on the other end of the phone nodded with satisfaction, the leader is not afraid that you will cause trouble, and if you get into trouble, you can still help the leader bring more power...... The leader wants you to get into trouble every day.

Ho's first suggestion was to take power from the General Administration, which meant that the ratings could not be decided by a joint venture company, but had to be released through the General Administration.

"Well, what about the second point?" Cai Ju asked with satisfaction.

"The second point is that the data can't be provided by the Sofurui family, why is there a chaos of selling ratings? Because of the monopoly, Sofrey can do related chaotic behaviors if he monopolizes. In this case, then break the monopoly, I personally think that there can be three to five third-party data companies, and at the same time, there must be the TV station's own data monitoring department, so that the data of several parties will be summarized by the General Administration, and then the correct ratings data will be formed and finally released, so as to be open and transparent. ”

He Fang's answer made Cai Ju even more satisfied, this is simply a measure to further strengthen the power of the General Administration.

"Anything else?" Cai Ju asked.

"Well, no, but I have a small request." He Fang said.

"Request? What's wrong with it? Cai Ju asked.

"I want to apply for an Internet TV license, and this TV station and other parties will definitely hate me to death, so even if my TV series is filmed, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get on satellite TV. Therefore, I want to start a video website and then broadcast it on the Internet. ”

"What about your website? There are no websites, what license to apply for? Cai Ju said.

"Well, you can build a website in minutes. I didn't plan to build a big website, so I built a small website that could be used as an application and judging website for new film awards in the future. He Fang said.

"Why should I open this back door for you?"

"I offended the TV industry in order to help the General Administration seize power, so you won't pay back such a big favor?" He Fang said.

"Hey, you kid...... If there is such a thing in the future, you must greet me in advance, so as not to catch me off guard. After Cai Ju finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He Fang smiled, threw his hand on the desk with satisfaction, and then lit a cigarette.

Cai Ju was very satisfied, although he didn't say to help him in the end, he didn't say he wouldn't help him.

Leaders are like this, they won't promise easily, if they can't do it, won't the leader become a person who doesn't keep his word? So if you don't refuse, you will be tantamount to helping you by default, but don't blame him if you don't do it, because he never promised you.

As for who lifted the lid on the TV industry, Cai Ju's final attitude was 'notify before doing such a good thing in the future, as long as it is discussed, you can do it boldly'.

The language of officialdom is like the audio-visual language in the movie, it has its own system, those who learn the audio-visual language can understand the movie, and those who learn the language of officialdom will naturally listen to the meaning of officialdom.

Didn't learn? Then you swear.

He Fang grew up in a state-owned enterprise, so he understands this set.

And the time came to August 25th, "Operation Mekong" was also released for four weeks, the box office in the first three days was 975.85 million, the second week was 159763 million, the third week was 818.68 million, and the fourth week also got 374.34 million, and in the four weeks of release, the domestic box office got a total of 3766.50 million, that is, 3.7665 billion yuan, creating a new high in the box office record.

The movie is still being released, and even if the first month of release ends, there will be postponements, so it is very promising for the box office to rush to 4 billion. Therefore, it is probably no surprise that "Operation Mekong" became the first film with the 4 billion yuan mark.

As for the box office in the rest of the world for four weeks of release...... It's almost miserable.

North America only got $45.05 million in the first four weeks, and this data may be more than a million dollars when it is finally released.

The rest of the country outside of North America is only 141.96 million US dollars, which is not bad, it is almost 150 million US dollars, and there is only one week left, and it is estimated that it will not be 150 million.

The quality of the movie is no problem, of course, you can pick out the problem if you have to pick it out.

The film promotion crew also spent a lot of money, which is comparable to "Edge of Tomorrow".

The cast is not bad, Wu Jing, Zhang Hanyu, and Pan Zhilin have all shown their faces internationally.

So why is the box office still so bad? A lot of things are self-explanatory, and you don't need to point them out.

……

Tuanhuo culture is very busy, among other things, the preparation of "Breaking the Sky" is now a top priority, and He Fangzheng is discussing with the people in the screenwriting department how to write the script of this play.

He Fang's instructions are to be as close to the original as possible, but the plot that has logical loopholes and is too watery in the original book can be eliminated. In a word, first of all, we must respect the original work, and secondly, the story should be compact and good-looking, and the plot should not be dragged out. Make sure that the story is extremely exciting, this is the principle, after all, with so much money invested to shoot, each episode is equivalent to a small and medium-cost movie, if this is a TV series that can't be as enjoyable as watching a movie, then this is a failure.

Of course, what is asking for is not a 40-minute episode, but a 60-minute episode, like a small movie.

He Fang and the screenwriter combed the script only to sort out a rough idea, such as sorting out the story into several stages of the protagonist's growth, and each stage is divided into difficult challenges - the plot development exceeds the protagonist's expectations - the plot reverses and reverses - the ending of this plot, the enemy or difficulty is eliminated, what are the relatives, friends, lovers, and the situation? - The suspense of the next story.

It is completely in accordance with the way the plot of the movie is set, exquisiteness is a must, and the story is also grandiose.

"Director He, the director of this TV series has to be determined, otherwise a lot of work will not be carried out." Zhou Fu, the manager of the production department, discussed with He Fang.

"Well, it's decided, now I have a candidate, so I'll talk to her first." He Fang took out his mobile phone, found the phone number, and dialed it.

Zhou Fu didn't expect He Fang to call in front of him, he didn't leave, he didn't stay, and at this moment, He Fang threw him a cigarette. Zhou Fu had no choice but to light a cigarette and sit down.

"Hey, classmate Zhang Mo, I have a difficult task to hand over to you." He Fang didn't ask Zhang Mo if he had time or interest, and directly arranged the task.

"Director He, what important task?" Zhang Mo asked.

"The TV series "Breaking the Sky" we are preparing is still short of a director, I think you can start from this TV series and become an independent director, after all, I plan to do it according to the American drama model, everything is a movie standard, and you will not be reduced to a domestic TV series director. Do you see if you're interested? ”

He asked.

"Huh? This, this...... Director He, can you let me think about it? Zhang Mo didn't have an idea for a while, so she had to ask.

"Of course you can consider it, but you have to hurry up, because it's time to cast." He Fang reminded.

"Don't worry, Director He, give me three days to think about it, and in addition, can you send me the situation of the project? For example, if you have any requirements for the director, also show me. Zhang Mo said.

"Ha, don't worry, I will definitely show you first, and I will send it to your mailbox later, if you don't understand anything, you can communicate with me back."

"Okay, Director He, I'll take a look at the information first, and then discuss it with my husband."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." He Fang nodded.

The reason why he chose Zhang Mo was mainly because she was the executive director of He Fang and knew what He Fang wanted very well.

And Zhang Mo also has a deep understanding of American dramas, and I believe she knows how to make TV series comparable to American dramas.

Another important reason is that Zhang Mo is a woman, and women shoot delicately, especially emotional scenes, I believe that she should be better than male directors.

Of course, will Zhang Mo lag behind in terms of momentum and other aspects? He Fang thinks no, after all, she has participated in so many He Fang's plays.

After receiving the email, Zhang Mo also carefully looked at the general direction of the plot, as well as the requirements for the director, and on the other hand, He Fang repeatedly emphasized to her that "Breaking the Sky" is an American drama, so she understands what it means.

In the American drama model, the director does not have much power, mainly to have strong directing skills to present the content of the script well.

It can be seen from this that the meaning of He Fang is very clear, and there is no great power in the tool director.

But this is at least an independent director, and it is the director of "Breaking the Sky", which has been hyped so hot, which will make her attention skyrocket.

Moreover, if the TV series is successful, she will meet with the director of China's first American drama model.

There are restrictions, but there are still a lot of benefits, and it is a lie to say that you are not impressed.

So, she discussed it with her Swiss husband and called her dad at the same time.

When Zhang Yimou listened to Zhang Mo's introduction, he pondered for a while.

"I think you can say yes, it's an opportunity. If you shoot according to the American drama mode, it will not be less difficult than making a low-cost movie in China, so after filming this drama well, it is estimated that you should be able to deal with general film shooting in the future.

After all, "Breaking the Sky", I have also learned about it in the past two days, and it contains a lot of things. There are not only special effects, action, but also the display of imagination, but also the growth of characters, the display of many emotions such as family, love, friendship, betrayal, etc., as well as the scheduling of many large scenes.

These are all things that you have to slowly grow up through multiple movies as a director, but now a TV series allows you to control so much at one time, which will be a great help to your growth.

I support you to be this director, and I think it is more meaningful to be a director than for you to make a low-budget little movie. Zhang Yimou's advice to Zhang Mo was very positive.

After getting her father's advice, Zhang Mo then had confidence, so she called He Fang before she got off work the next day.

When He Fang heard that she was willing to take over, He Fang asked her to immediately come to Changsha to take over the preparations for the TV series, especially the casting work.

For the martial arts instructor of "Breaking the Sky", He Fang had a candidate at the beginning, but he still hadn't decided, he wanted to hear Zhang Mo's thoughts.

On August 27, the official account of the TV series "Breaking the Sky" announced that Zhang Mo would become the director of the TV series, and He Fang was the producer.

This made netizens confused.

"Who is Zhang Mo? I've never heard of it. ”

"You don't even know Zhang Mo? Just look at Who's recent phone cast and crew, and you'll know who has been the executive director. ”

"Oh, so that's the case, a female director filming "Breaking the Sky"? Can you shoot it well? ”

"That's because you don't know her other identity, if you know, you will understand that she will definitely shoot well, and her other identity is the eldest daughter of the great director Zhang Yimou."

"I lost it, it turns out that there is still such an identity? What's going on here? ”

"That's ......"

"It seems that Zhang Mo and He Fang are for a year, so are the two of them ......?"

"Hey, you think too much, Zhang Mo is married, and there is no relationship like you imagined."

"With Zhang Yimou's inheritance, who else has been guiding for so long, and who is the producer of this drama, then I believe she has no problem."

Just when everyone was still discussing director Zhang Mo, the crew of "Breaking the Sky" issued an announcement again, announcing that the casting of "Breaking the Sky" had officially begun, and all eligible actors could sign up.

Then there is a long poster that lists the conditions and requirements for hundreds of roles, as well as the application deadlines, the audition process, etc.
